10、to sunny, fun-filled days spent on the beach at Bangor in Northern Ireland where we went for our summer holidays. To many, he was a mystery. Every afternoon John would wander to the end of the pier (码头) where he fed the seagulls and delighted in the sound of their excited cries as they flew around h

11、is head.Often I asked my family questions regarding John. Eventually I gave up as no one could tell me anything about him. As I grew up, my visits to the beach became less frequent, and my memories of John buried in a childs imagination.Last year memories came flooding back as I walked along the coa

12、stline, where I noticed a lady feeding the seagulls on the pier, and I decided to introduce myself. Then I came to know that the lady was Johns daughter, and after John left this world she carried out the ritual, which had held such importance for her father.In some strange way I felt we shared a bo

13、nd, each needing to remember. In return, Lucy told me of Johns life, his days in the British Navy during World War I and how he almost lost hope when his ship was attacked by a German U-boat in the North Sea and he found himself in a lifeboat with five others.Close to death, he thought he heard the

14、sound of wings. He put up his hands, only to catch a seagull that had landed on the side of the boat. The seagull saved the lives of the six men as it was used to catch fish, which kept them alive until they reach land. This period of Johns life was one he never talked about. But the ritual he first

18、lay musical instruments as part of a family tradition and not to raise their social status as Americans do, research says.Dr. Aaron Reeves of the University of Oxford found that UK parents did not see musical achievement by their children as character building or useful in getting university places

19、or jobs. Instead, it was usually only those parents who played instruments that encouraged their children to follow suit.This contrasted with research carried out by other academics in America, he said. “Middle-class parents in the US appear to associate cultural practice with other benefits, such a

20、s developing specific characteristics and paving the way for educational success. Middle-class families are often marked by a pattern of concerted cultivation, where parents organize music-centred activities for their children, often in addition to school-based musical practice.”Researchers had owed

21、 this to “parental anxiety over the declining fortunes of educated Americans. These parents have become increasingly worried about providing their children with skills and abilities enabling them to stand out from their competitors in the job market.”By contrast, for British respondents, no such con

22、nection was made between what is considered as an overbearing parenting style and future educational or career possibilities. The parents interviewed here did not connect music with usefulness but rather they focused on the value of music as a family tradition and, to a lesser extent, as something v

23、aluable in its ownright.One Scottish parent, a chemist by profession, said during the interviews, “Weve got two learning musical instruments. If we think its maybe worthwhile we try and encourage them, but we wouldnt force them.” A housewife said, “My sons just turned five and I want him to do the g

24、uitar because his uncle does it, but its up to him.”In some UK families, said Dr. Reeves, music was even “believed to be an obstacle to educational success, or at least secondary to it.”8. What do British parents think of music learning?A. Useful for job application. B. Worthwhile as a family tradit

25、ion. C. Helpful for character building. D. Beneficial to further education.9. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. Cultural practice. B. Educational success.C. Concerted cultivation. D. School-based musical practice.10. What can be inferred from the text?A. The future of A

26、merican kids is not promising.B. American parents hardly link music with success.C. British parents show little concern about education. D. Music learning is a personal choice for British kids.11. What is the text mainly about?A. Reasons for British music preference.B. Americans attitude towards mus

27、ic learning. C. British parenting style in music education.D. Differences between British and American parents.DThere is an unforgettable beauty to the Karoo, a vast semi-desert, that seems empty save for the stars overhead and sheep eating grass below. Economic opportunities here are few.But the Ka

28、roos clear skies also draw some of the worlds best scientists. A radio telescopeproject called the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) is under construction, with the latest group of64 giant antennae（天线）due to be completed late next year. When finished, it will be the biggest radio telescope in the world a

29、nd should allow scientists to peer into the origins of the universe.Still, some sheep farmers are complaining. Because of the sensitivity of the telescope, the surrounding area must be kept free from radio interference（干扰）caused by everything from mobile phones to microwave ovens and some car engine

30、s. The SKA is buying up more farmsthan originally expected to ensure radio silence over an area of some 130,000 hectares. There will be no mobile phone signals allowed, except in the few towns in the area. Save the Karoo, an advocacy group, isnt convinced by the bright future of groundbreaking astro

31、nomical discoveries. Its members fear the restrictions will make the Karoo “a cut-off and backward region”, and warn that people serving farms near the SKA site could face financial ruin. “I dont care about a black hole siting somewhere out in space,” says Eric Torr, an organiser with the group. “It

32、 does not put food on the table.”Sky-high expectations in this down-at-heel area are also a problem. An SKA official complains that the locals expect the telescope to solve all their problems. Some jobs have been created, but few locals have the skills to find out the secrets of distant galaxies. Until recently the high school in Carnarvon, a nearby town, didnt even have a maths and science teacher. The SKA organisation hired one, and is also
